Would You Trade Romo Straight Up For Jay Cutler & Matt Forte?

[Toruk_Makto]

No.

This better not be a serious question or I will have serious thoughts about your football acumen

The fact that Cutler sucks makes this easy.

Yet MMQB ranks E-Lie #11 right behind Romo at #10 and says E-Lie is a field general . . . . .

11. Eli Manning, Giants
Certified field general with the willingness and ability to spot tight windows and thread the ball through.

10. Tony Romo, Cowboys
Playing behind the league’s best O-line has allowed him to polish many areas of his once inconsistent game.



BUT:

When we look at the career numbers we see TWO QB's with almost identical stats:

AND: between the 2 of these guys they have led the league in INT's 5 times!

And everybody knows Cutler sucks, right?

But E-Lie is clutch and many here raved and sang his praises over and over and would have taken him over Romo . . . . . . .

 

[65fastback2plus2]

this thread made me dizzy from all the stupid

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

What if it was E-Lie for Romo instead of Cutler? E-Lie has 2 rings and was a favorite around here for a long time. We had pages of threads about E-Lie being better than Romo. And how clutch E-Lie is when it matters most.

Before I answer.... Did you just hijack your own thread!!??

Is it April Fools already?

 

[ghst187]

Not even for dexter Cokely and Herschel Walker

 

[EST_1986]

wow

umm

wow

 

[FiveTime]

NO!

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

Absolutely not... I respect Forte but he's approaching 30.. Even if Forte was 25 Cutler ruins the deal. Lockeroom killer and erratic qb.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

We trade ONE starting QB and we get another starting QB AND a starting RB to replace Murray. Cutler has a gun for an arm. Forte replaces Murray and both he and Cutler behind this OL might shine.

Salary cap issues aside, would you do it?

NO , no no no no no no no no

this is a QB league. not a running back league. without the right QB, you have no chance of winning, otherwise minn. would have had 3 superbowl trophies already.

cutler is far below romo and he has been exposed. and its not about his OL, given that romo for years had to deal with a crappy OL and still managed to be a highly rated QB. matt forte is good, but older and is not that good to garner getting that much worse in QB position releative to gains made in running game

perhaps a better question you could ask, is would you give up a 2nd round pick for Forte. if you really wanted to go out there, you could say would you offer a 1st round pick for forte...

but cutler and forte is a losing combinatin

[Canadian BoyzFan]

First off....heck no to the trade. Brutal.

However, I could TOTALLY see us offering Chicago a pick for Forte. He is on a terrible team that should tank for a better draft pick and Forte is also on the last year of his contract. He would be a great fit behind this line, he pass blocks well and catches the ball well out of the backfield.

I would however trade a 4th for Forte, with the chance of the pick going to a 3rd if we reach the SuperBowl and Forte plays in the game.

I'd rather have Jeff George and the Dancing with the Stars era Emmitt

And even with that knowledge that Jay/Eli are significantly statistically worse QBs than Romo (not to mentioned the bolded part above)....you still posed the question....what am I missing here???? Are you trolling a Romo debate?

I just spit out my drink! Jay Cutler is a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sick of hearing about Cutlers arm, jamarcus russel had an arm as well.
